Pistorius ‘fired gun through car sunroof’

Athlete Oscar Pistorius was passionate about guns, a friend testified, telling the court how the Paralympian had fired a gun through a sunroof and again inside a crowded restaurant.

“We had been to the shooting range before and I knew he had a big love of weapons,” Darren Fresco said in his testimony during the South African sprinter’s trial for shooting dead his girlfriend.

Prosecutors have levelled two counts of firing a gun in public against Pistorius, as well as the murder charge.
